The Atlantic - Posts: "To what extent should the Constitution be violated to fight the coronavirus?"
Sarah IH: The Constitution should never be violated and anyone who feels otherwise is my committed existential enemy.
Alexander Gordillo: Sarah IH The constitution is not a suicide pact
Thomas Jefferson:
“A strict observance of the written law is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to the written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means.”
Sarah IH: Alexander Gordillo I stand by what I said.
Scott Allen: Jeffe Sarah IH good luck with that. I hope you’re not with the “freedom” group that believes that anything you want to do should be allowed.
Alexander Gordillo: Sarah IH you must be so clear on the constitution as to absolve all interpreting done by lawyers. Good on you! Also, existential enemy? Give yourself a break.
Sarah IH: Alexander Gordillo I am a lawyer. And I have not interest in discussing this with you further.
Scott Allen Jeffe Nor with you.
Alexander Gordillo: Sarah IH I will comment and respond as I please. You are free to share your opinion and I am free to respond.
Sarah IH: Alexander Gordillo Go discuss it with someone not your enemy. Blocked.
Caleb Kuddes: Sarah IH if you’re not interested in discussing it, why comment? Does declaring it satisfy you in some way? Unfortunately the Constitution is pretty useless to dead people, and without “violating” the letter of it, there are going to be a whole lot of them.
Sarah IH: Caleb Kuddes Because it interests me to see how many traitors and enemies are in our midst. So not you either. Blocked.
Jaana Reising: Sarah IH The way you are responding to Alexander and Scott is making me think that you must have received your “degree” in trump university.
Sarah IH: Jaana Reising I hate that traitor. Blocked.
